What: The article "Women Don't Owe Men a Debate About Feminism" is not unrelated to:
- the Let Me Google That for You eye roll urge
- the danger of Rebecca Traister's "finger trap" (as described in "How Jokes Won the Election")
- the galling offense of the whole Kevin Williamson thing (see Jessica Valenti on it)
- our media's endemic false balance (or "both sides-ism"), which might actually have doomed us
Representative quote: "Let me assure you, men who sit down and issue these glib challenges in the name of debate do not actually want their minds changed. They want to argue with someone, because they think that arguing is fun."
How to get it: "Women Don't Owe Men a Debate About Feminism," by Jennifer Wright, was published in Harper's Bazaar last month.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Rebecca Traister and Jessica Valenti were both part of List #66: Public Voices to Pay Attention To.
